Department of Emotions: Book 3: Love

By Colin Linder

The city's pulse is an endless weave of ambition, desire, and hope, but a new shadow is bleeding through the threads.

Delilah is a master of the Lattice, navigating the hidden river of emotional currents that run beneath every street and through every heart. With her conduits and glowing strands, she balances the delicate impulses of the Minor Offices-from the steadying calm of Devotion to the restless, predatory hunger of Possession.

But a corrosive force has begun to stir. Envy, sharp and cold, is twisting the threads of the city, turning Admiration into Resentment and connection into a cage. As the shadow Rivalry tests the boundaries of her restraint, Delilah feels the Lattice straining under the weight of a green-eyed hunger that threatens to snap the very foundations of the Department.

As the city teeters on the edge of emotional collapse, a young girl named Kaia begins to sense the currents for herself, catching glimpses of the corruption before it takes hold. Delilah must choose: intervene with total control to purge the Envy, or trust the people to find their own way through the tangles of the heart.

In a world where every nudge has a consequence, she is about to learn that Envy is the one thread that, once pulled, can unravel everything.
